Common questions

How do you conjugate 역력하다 in Korean?

역력하다 (to be clear) is 역력해요 in the polite 해요체, 역력합니다 in formal 합니다체, 역력해 in casual 반말 and 역력하다 in the plain written style. The past is 역력했어요.

What is the past tense of 역력하다?

역력했어요 in everyday polite speech, 역력했습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 역력하여 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.

Is 역력하다 irregular?

Yes — it is 여 irregular (여 불규칙). 하다 and every verb built on it: 하다 → 하여 → 해요. That is why the stem looks different in 역력하여 and 역력하니 but unchanged in 역력합니다.

What TOPIK level is 역력하다?

It carries no TOPIK grade. That is a fact about the published word lists rather than about the word — it conjugates by exactly the same rules as everything else.
